Child Custody Conflict Divorce

When 50/50 Custody in Divorce is Right or Not Right for You

wpadmin July 28, 2017

Mother and daughter reading on laptop.50/50 custody schedules are some of the most complicated schedules to form, because being there for a child 100% of the time when you share perfectly even custody can be difficult. Some parents are dedicated to a variety of things already, from caring for multiple children from a new marriage, to work schedules. Because of this, the court wants you to consider a schedule based on one goal: to create a meaningful relationship with children, while being mindful to work-life demands and the other time constraints of life.

Sometimes, it is found that 50/50 custody creates the greatest degrees of conflict. There may be a lot of animosity between parents who are now divorced and going through new walks of life, but have to keep in touch constantly with the stress of ongoing parenting in the background. Thus, courts would rather you come up with an agreement that works for both of you without the competition of gaining 50/50. The sharing of care over your children will allow for more of a meaningful relationship with them in the long run.

Alternating Weeks

One of the most popular, working 50/50 custody plans is having alternating weeks – which means that one parent would have a week with the child, and then the other parent would have the next week. Usually, the exchange would be done sometime through the week around 3:00 and you can pick any day of the week for the exchange, that works for both parents. If you or the other parent believe that a whole week without the child is frustrating or upsetting, you can add a midweek visit to the other parent during the week, and likewise for the next week. You may be able to offer an overnight throughout the week as well, but ensuring that the other parent is treated fairly in the matter as well.

There are many custody plans that work best for parents and children based on the schedules of all. Remembering these schedules and working together will help you arrive at the best outcome. Call us today so we can help you with your divorce case.

Beyond impressed! I had been self represented through years of family law and child support court hearings and was so hesitant to hire an attorney out of fear and trusting that they would appropriately represent myself and child. After tons of research I contacted Ms. Azizi. I immediately was greeted by Lorenzo, the Office Administrator, who made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. He assisted in making communication seamless and effortless and walked me through each step of the process. Ms. Azizi heard my concerns and was extremely sensitive to the matter of FAMILY. The team did an amazing job with discovery and building a strong case that gave me confidence and I was successful in coming to an agreement with the other party, in what has yet to have been the easiest hearing of all, thanks to them. Ms. Azizi settled my case after years of stress and agony. I am grateful for finding the team and Ms. Azizi and definitely recommend them for any of your legal needs!

This law firm is the best! They have helped me so much with my Divorce and Criminal cases and I really wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have them to represent me. Lorenzo and Ro are awesome and are there to help at all times. My attorney was Mr.Edmondson and he has been amazing. This law firm is truly great and I will never go to any other one. Their responses are quick and will answer any questions you might have.

Seven stars. I had planned to put up my reviews after my final judgment but after the first hearing, couldn't wait, and I would write this whatever the outcome of my difficult case. Soheila was simply amazing in her arguments and strategy before the judge. I felt so taken care of. I chose her for her near-30 years of experience as an attorney, the depth and strength I observed in one who had weathered hardship through her many accomplishments, her compassion, and her smarts. I can't imagine what other attorney would have Zoomed with me even in sickness to help prepare me for a legal session. And I later saw how keen she'd been in her advice. I've been deeply touched watching Soheila and her paralegal Lynda Walker fight for my child as if he were their own. They in particular have treated me with great humanity - day and night from what I experienced at my former attorney's. Lynda is a gem, on her toes, flexible, hard-working, committed to each client, humble, and sweet. She has slaved over my case, doing much of the writing, watchful of me on paper and in person, guiding me gently while encouraging me to use my voice. The staff, including the office administrator Lorenzo and Linda C, is caring, respectful, and conscientious. A band of angels.
